Little Mix: Wings

To contact us Click HERE
Ever wonder what it would look like if slightly younger versions of Jessie J, Rihanna, Rita Ora and a normal aged Cher Lloyd teamed up to make a music video? Well you don't have to wonder anymore as we are pretty sure it looks like Little Mix's new music video for their new single 'Wings'. 
Of course looking like younger versions of these chart toppers isn't necessarily a bad thing as Perri, Leigh-Anne, Jade and Jessy jump around the screen, singing their Little Mix hearts out. Whilst also throwing in a few funky dance routines as an added bonus. Not to mention some backing dancers, the odd dark-wooden bar stool and a massive Union Jack wall as their chosen backdrop.
Naturally they are kitted out in all the latest high-street clobber from the likes of Topshop and Urban Outfitters. Sporting cropped denim waistcoats with stud detailing, sequin bow-ties, oversized gold hoop earrings and a variety of coloured hot pants.Trend filled outfits aside, these girls are newcomers sporting powerful vocals from the word go featuring sleek runs and sick harmonies. Most notable via their live radio tour performing to an amazing level. Not to mention more than a little Destiny's Childesque from the golden days.
Overall 'Wings' is catchy, funky, feel-good with just the right amount of pop gem gold to make these girls go far and the accompanying visual merely serves to cement this. 
Check out Little Mix soaring high in their new video 'Wings' via the clip below. 

Cheryl Cole 'Under The Sun'

To contact us Click HERE
The eyes of the world may be on the opening ceremony of the Olympics today, but I think it is safe to say the eyes of the male world will be on Cheryl Cole and her new music video. Which is sure to have jaws hitting the floor from the word go. 
Serving as the follow up to her successful number one comeback track 'Call My Name', Cheryl opts for a slightly more vintage take than her previous dance-fest effort. And by vintage we mean hot as shit. Possibly the tightest cropped cardigan I have ever seen in my life.
I won't lie to you and neglect to inform my slight disappointment in the retro clip. I was really looking forward to seeing an Ibiza styled up-beat gem. Or an edgy East London take for Screw You feat Wretch 32. 
Under The Sun however is still one of my favourite tracks from the album, the music video is sizzling with sultry, sexy, seductive undertones and even features Chezza doing a little rain dance with the help of a few suited, umbrella wielding men. 
Oh and she says 'Go Down On Me' quite a few times and it is really hard not to focus on those few words whenever she does so. 
If you don't believe me take a look for yourself...

One Direction Livin' Life

To contact us Click HERE
Oh how I despise writing about One Direction, but I cannot help myself. Because unlike their misguided counterparts, namely JLS and the Wanted, 1D actually have decent taste when it comes to their ability to dress themselves. (Well everyone except Niall of course. GO HOME NIALL. Ireland's waiting.)
Alas Niall and the boys are back for their colour blocking new video entitled 'Live While We're Young'. Naturally being the young lads in the prime of their youth and arguably their careers, Liam, Louis, Harry, Zayne and Niall live it up in a combat Jeep as they frolic around the English countryside. Zorbing, partying the night away and participating in all sorts of camping related activities. 
Fun filled with the overwhelming joy of enjoying the company of your friends, the guys of 1D don trendy tweed blazers, turquoise blue hooded tops, and more rolled up short sleeve shirts/t-shirts than a back-alley tattoo shop. It may not be Givenchy or Versace for H&M, but at least they aren't roaming around in wide-neck vests, scoop neck t-shirts, over-flapped leather boots and black twisted hem trousers. (Coughs JLS & The Wanted). 
Live While We're Young serves as the lead single to One Directions upcoming sophomore LP 'Take Me Home' set for general release November 12. Live While We're Young gets its official release September 30. 
*Author's Note: Upon finishing writing this post and watching 1Ds new video, I have found myself singing along to their easily catchy new track. Long live 1D. 
Check out the 1D lads in all their style glory in Live While We're Young via the clip below.

'Ride' By Lana Del Rey

To contact us Click HERE
I will always remember the moment at the London College of Fashion's MA Graduate show back in February, in which I overheard one man rather smugly announcing 'I discovered Lana Del Rey'. My initial response being 'did you f##k' before actually stopping and asking the question 'who is Lana Del Rey again?'. Naturally the sultry song 'Blue Jeans' and a rather epic remixed 'Born To Die' thundered their way into the catwalk setlist. Needless to say, in amongst the transparent perspex, the organza neon dresses and the metallic futuristic cuts, I found myself loving Miss Del Rey. Hanging on every word and have never looked back. 
Today is no different, as Lana i.e Elizabeth Grant preps the release of the Paradise Edition of her successful, critically acclaimed album Born To Die. Featuring nine new tracks. One of which is the stunningly haunting pop-ballad 'Ride' serving as the projects lead single. 
Del Rey is also the new face of H&M's Autumn/Winter campagin if you haven't noticed the billboards, blog sites and slightly disturbing television spots. Showcasing vintage/artistic prints, peplum designs, tweed shift dresses, angora sweaters, the occasional pastel shade and jewelled embellished collars. Recording a cover of cult classic 'Blue Velvet' as a promotional track for both H&M and The Paradise Edition. Naturally shooting a quirky and slightly sinister video as part of H&M's campaign was a must. A video for 'Ride' has been shot in Las Vegas with the track available to download now. Lana Del Rey's Born To Die: The Paradise Edition drops November 12. 
Take a listen to Lana's phenomenal new effort 'Ride via the clip below and as an added bonus check out Lana giving it rice as only she can in H&M's advert featuring her cover of 'Blue Velvet'. 

Tinie Tempah Covers GQ

To contact us Click HERE
Tinie Tempah is GQ's Solo Artist Of The Year...and to celebrate such an achievement, GQ have given the talented and ever so stylish man the cover of their UK October issue. Celebrating the 15th Annual Men of the Year Awards in spectacular fashion, GQ's October mag not only showcases Tinie but also comedian James Corden, global star Robbie Williams and actor John Slattery in their very own variation covers.
On picking up my Tinie Tempah copy I had imagined a sensational shoot to accompany it. I was however utterly let down with the publication containing only two pages of the man himself. One full photo sitting comfortably on a red velvet sofa sandwiched in-between two majestic gold candelabras and a bouquet of white flowers. 
Tinie was of course wearing an all-white Burberry tuxedo. A white Dolce & Gabbana shirt. A velvet maroon bow-tie by Lanvin complete with a matching pocket square from Peckham Rye, stunning vintage loafers and a magnificent gold watch. The latter objects being Tinie's own. 
Then came the full page interview. Which included another, slightly smaller picture of Tinie Tempah's cover image. In a contrasting black tuxedo, waistcoat and shirt courtesy of Dior. A black bow-tie and pocket square courtesy of Yves Saint Laurent and a black watch by Graff Diamonds. All topped off by TT's trademark Geek Chich fake black rimmed glasses. 
The lack of TT was made up by the inclusion of Michael Fassbender suited up with a Great Gatsby influence twist sporting vintage, vintage and more vintage with the odd Tom Ford thrown in for good measure. Gary Barlow on the page following and the God of Thunder himself Chris Hemsworth.
That being said, for a magazine devoted to men's fashion. Lana Del Rey who was crowned GQ's Woman of the Year is allotted 14 pages in a full fashion shoot! Not cool GQ. Bros before Hos. 
 P.s Tinie Tempah is currently in Belfast at some of my local bars and last month I missed out on seeing him perform on a beach in Marbella. I just can't catch a break.

Spencer Pratt Asserts His Fame

To contact us Click HERE
He’s never been one to keep his mouth shut, and with the advent of the Khloe Kardashian wedding and Kourtney Kardashian's pregnancy, Spencer Pratt has something to say.

The Hills character told press, “Speidi is Barack and Michelle famous, not Kardashian famous!” He continued, “The fact that USA Today said we’re the third most famous couple in the world after Brangelina and The Obamas is amazing. I don’t care what people say about me. It’s cool.”

Pratt also claimed that the reason Lauren Conrad left the popular MTV reality show was that he and his wife were becoming more famous.

“Speidi was getting more famous than her. Her ego ruined her life and her career—I pray for her every day and we’d all love for her to come back to The Hills when she realizes her move didn’t work.”

Kristin Talks John Mayer Rumor, Audrina Salary

To contact us Click HERE
Changing her story, Kristin Cavallari has gone from only meeting John Mayer “for five minutes” to having spurned his romantic advances.

The Hills hottie told Ryan Seacrest, “I just feel like I don’t need to be another notch on his belt,” during an interview on his KIIS FM radio show.

She continued, “I think he’s a really nice guy,” and when Seacrest informed her that Mayer is said to be “amazing in the bedroom,” Kristen reconsidered, “I’ve heard that. Maybe I should give him a phone call!”

Another topic of conversation was the rumor that Audrina Patridge makes more money ($100,000 per episode) than Cavallari ($90,000 per episode), something Kristin says is inaccurate. “Well, I can tell you that’s not true ... that she makes more money.”

Stgephanie Is Leaving The Hills.. She Thinks.

To contact us Click HERE
There's been so much buzz surrounding Kristin Cavallari joining the show, everyone has failed to notice that the rest of the cast is slowing falling apart.

Audrina Patridge has already scored her own reality show on MTV with Mark Burnett, so where does that leave Stephanie Pratt and Lo Bosworth?

"I think Audrina, Lo and I are all going to leave after these 10 episodes," Stephanie told Hollyscoop exclusively during our Closet Raiders segment, which airs on 'Hollyscoop' TV on KTLA this Sunday night.

"I don't know how much more I can take of The Hills," added Stephanie. "The Hills is very brutal." So does the arrival of fellow castmember Kristin , aka the resident bitch, have anything to do with Stephanie's departure? "It's not because of Kristin ," she tells Hollyscoop. "I was going to stay and see what happens after these ten episodes, but I just don't think I can stand The Hills anymore."

She adds, "We've all grown up. It's not the original girls moving to LA trying to make it. Right now everyone’s fighting to be the queen or king of LA."

So is Kristin as bad as she seems on camera? Stephanie tells Hollyscoop, "It's not the question of her being that bad. Its more like is she for real?"

Stephanie may be on the show until the end of the season, but that hasn't stopped her from getting a second job. The fashion forward reality star was hired as a freelance fashion correspondent for the E! network.

What do you think of Stephanie's bombshell? The show certainly won't be the same without her. Without Lauren, Audrina, Lo and Stephanie, do you think Kristin has what it takes to carry on the entire show? Tell us your thoughts!

Heidi Looks Fried, Hangs Out With Jen Bunney

To contact us Click HERE
Lauren Conrad's former friends, Heidi Montag and Jen Bunney, grabbed some coffee together yesterday afternoon (September 26, 2009). I wonder what could have brought these two together again?

I guess all that dry shampoo she is supposed to be peddling isn't working to well on her fried hair! Maybe she needs to put the bleach on hold for a second and go back to her roots!

Chocolate mousse... in a box!

To contact us Click HERE
A little over a week ago, I had a friend coming over for dinner. A friend I hadn't seen in a long time, so I went all out... ON DESSERT!

I had this box laying around for a while and finally decided to put it to good use.



"Chocolate Royale"

The box claims it only takes 10 minutes to make. I didn't time it, but I'm pretty sure it took me more than 10 minutes since I was pausing and taking pictures of everything.

Basically, in the box, you have 3 bags, for 3 layers in the mousse. First, you take a square plate and grease it up!



Then, put the content of the 1st bag, in a bowl. And melt one cup of butter or margarine.



You should keep 1 spoonful of the crushed cookies (they don't say what it is, but it looked a lot like very well crushed oreo cookies to me). I used a big spoon, to later realize I'd only needed to keep a small one. This is for decorating at the end.

Mix the crushed cookies with the melted margarine until it's sticky. Tightly press all of the content at the bottom of the greased plate.



I used a fork, I found that's what was easiest to work with. Then, put in the fridge while you make the other layers.



Next step. Put the content of the 2nd package in a big bowl with 1 cup of cold milk. This package contented light brown powder. Smelled a little like chocolate.



Beat everything together on low for 2 minutes. And then on high for 3 minutes. The end result:



Apply on top of the crushed cookie layer. I used a spatula. Put back into the fridge.



Then on with the last layer. The 3rd and final package into a bowl, with 3/4 cup of cold milk. This powder looked the same as the previous one, but was much lighter.



I used the same bowl. Will be faster to clean afterwards :3 Beat on high for 2-3 minutes.



Apply on top of previous layers.



Last step! Remember that spoonful of crushed cookies? Sprinkle on top!



Put in the fridge for at least 1 hour. Then it's ready to serve!
